Five players who could make this England’s next golden generation

#2 Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)

Jadon Sancho

Sancho made the tough decision to leave Manchester City last summer, feeling that he wasn’t going to get a chance at the Etihad Stadium, and moved to Borussia Dortmund in a £8 million move. It looked like he made the right decision, after being given the number seven shirt after Ousmane Dembele left Dortmund for Barcelona. When he made his debut against Eintracht Frankfurt in October, he became the first English player to play in the Bundesliga.

In terms of wingers, Raheem Sterling was as close as England had to a natural out-and-out winger in their squad for Russia, and England are short of them at the moment. This meant that at times they were slightly one dimensional, and didn’t have the chance to switch to a system with wingers. Sancho though will give them that option. He is more natural on the left, but is more than capable of playing on the right as well. He is fast, tricky, and could end up being a really important player for this England team.
